Produced in the 1930s by the Japanese Government Railways (鉄道省) as part of their international tourism promotion programme, this magnificent poster showcased the incomparable beauty of Mount Fuji as seen across a tranquil lake — almost certainly Lake Ashi (Ashinoko) in the Hakone region — framed by a sweeping Japanese red pine in the foreground.

The bold Art Deco typography perfectly complements the timeless landscape.
